Jawwy Saudi Arabia Prepaid Plans Explored (2024)

Jawwy is a sub-brand by STC KSA.

In This Guide Show

It started in 2016 and is targeted at prepaid use.

However, STC KSA does offer prepaid service by itself as well – perhaps it will be phased out in the future.

Jawwy (Mobile) should not be confused with Jawwy TV.

This is what you will learn about Jawwy:

* Coverage
* How to Get a Jawwy SIM Card & SIM Card Price
* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check
* Plans & Packages
* APN/Internet Settings

Coverage – Jawwy

Jawwy is an STC KSA MVNO, meaning Jawwy uses the STC KSA network and does not have its own mobile infrastructure.

To find out what to expect in terms of coverage with Jawwy, jump to the STC KSA Coverage section in my Saudi Arabia SIM card buying guide.

SIM Card Price – Jawwy

You can buy a Jawwy SIM card for 30 SAR (34.50 SAR with VAT) with 1 GB of data, 1 GB for social media (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Telegram, TikTok, Twitter, WhatsApp & YouTube) & 100 local minutes – all valid for 28 days in STC stores.

It is also possible to get a Jawwy eSIM for the same price as a regular SIM card or free if you upgrade from a physical SIM card to an eSIM.

Note that the Saudi Arabian mobile operators require your identification (passport) for eSIMs and physical SIM cards.

You can even get eSIMs covering Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Middle East, allowing you to use one eSIM in multiple destinations with just one purchase.

Or you can even get a global eSIM, which can be used in at least 100 countries worldwide.

While the Saudi Arabia eSIM buying guide goes much more in-depth about your options, I do want to introduce some quickly here:

Airalo: Red Sand (formerly Salaam – Saudi Arabia only), Menalink (15 countries in the Middle East and Northern Africa) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS)
Alosim: Saudi Arabia
Holafly: Saudi Arabia
Nomad: Saudi Arabia, Middle East (seven countries) & Global (109 or 139 countries, depending on the variant)

Here are some discount codes to sweeten the deal:

Airalo: APR15 for 15% off (if you have never bought an Airalo eSIM before). Otherwise, APR10 for 10% off (for existing users) – only the first 3000 users can redeem either discount code)
Alosim: PTW for 5% off (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want)
Holafly: PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want)
Nomad: ADU123 for 3 USD off (on your first-ever Nomad order only)

For information about these eSIMs, such as how much the eSIMs cost and how much data you get, check out the Saudi Arabia eSIM buying guide.

Top-Up, Recharge & Balance Check – Jawwy

Jawwy top-up vouchers, using STC's Sawa vouchers, are sold in STC stores and many other establishments, such as kiosks, gas stations, and grocery stores.

To top up your Jawwy SIM card, dial *155*VoucherCode*#.

For example, if your voucher code is 123456, you would dial *155*123456#.

You can also tell the salesperson how much credit you want, your phone number, pay, and they will top up your SIM card with the POS system.

Each top-up has no expiry, as long as your Jawwy SIM card is active.

You can also recharge online with (international) debit and credit cards.

Topping up and checking your balance can be done on the Jawwy app (Android/iOS).

There is no USSD/shortcode to check your Jawwy balance.

All Jawwy plans can be activated on the Jawwy app.
